RECOMMENDATION
Recommendation
That the Committee reviews and comments on this information report.
SUMMARY
Construction of the City’s Recycled Water Project, which will provide a locally sustainable and drought-resistant supply of recycled water to irrigation and industrial customers, is well underway. The first phase of the project includes construction of a treatment facility, storage tank, pump station, distribution system and customer connections, to deliver an estimated 290 acre-feet per year (260,000 gallons per day) of recycled water. Since staff last updated the Committee on the overall Recycled Water Project in May 2017, substantial progress has been made to implement the project. This report has been prepared to update the Committee on the status of the various project elements, including construction activities and final design of the recycled water treatment facility and customer site retrofits. The project is currently scheduled to be substantially complete by the end of 2019 with customer connections to the recycled water system and deliveries anticipated to begin in early 2020.
